Chapter 10 Acting according to the plan

After the resolution of the prince Jin and the ministers. Leaving the necessary garrison forces, he led Wu Qi, Xue Rengui, Han Baohu, Zhang Liao and 50,000 horse infantry troops to Pingxing Pass, which was at the junction of the Han border and Sanhu. Leaving the civil officials and Feng Sheng, Liao Hua guarded Yecheng. 50,000 horses and horses swept towards the Pingxing Pass, racing against time to repair the fortifications and build the ordnance to defend the city.

Five days later, Sanhu's 100,000 iron horsemen also came to the pass, only to see that the city was well fortified and there were many people and horses. The Sanhu cavalry was not good at attacking the city, and the leaders of the various departments felt that it was a little tricky, but it was unrealistic for them to retreat because they were in trouble. So the leaders briefly discussed it and decided to attack first and try the strength of the Han defense. Of course, it is also reported that in case of breaking through the pass. I have to say that they have a very good idea, there is no particularly good strategy in siege warfare, and the casualty ratio of defense and attack is generally maintained at 1:3. That is to say, if you want to fight the defenders of the pass, the current strength of the Sanhu cavalry is not enough.

After the Sanhu discussion, the respective tribes first sent 5,000 cavalry to test, a total of 15,000, and the Loufu cavalry with 5,000 on the left side all dismounted and quickly launched a charge. Han Baohu on the city wall commanded the spearmen and swordsmen to throw stones and sassers, and Zhang Liao commanded the archers to focus on the Loufu cavalry on the left, and the Loufu soldiers suffered heavy casualties for a while. The leader of Lou Fu, who was watching the battle from behind, suddenly had a dark face. After two hours of attack, the leaders of the three Hu retreated. Donghu and Linhu each suffered more than 2,000 casualties, but Lou Fu suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and only a few hundred people were withdrawn. Since his own casualties are more than those of Donghu and Linhu combined. As a result, the corners of Lin Hu's mouth twitched, some couldn't control his smile, and some gloated. Because Donghu and Lou Fu have a good relationship, and Lin Hu's strength is the strongest. So the two families also had some intention of joining forces to resist Lin Hu, and the leader of Donghu came to comfort him, but he didn't know if it didn't work.

Lou Fu looked at the leader of Lin Hu and snorted coldly, and went back to the camp set up by his subordinates.

At night, a figure was hung on the city wall and quietly came to the camp set up by Sanhu. Gu Yu, the leader of Lou Fu, drank alone in his tent. A figure came to his tent, I don't know if it was the anesthesia of alcohol, which made Gu Yu's thinking dull a lot. I don't know how long it was, "Who are you, why did you come to my tent, what did you do, did you live too long?" ”

The man dressed in black said with a smile, "Leader Gu Yu, I came down to give the king a good future. ”

Gu Yu sneered and looked at the man in black in front of him: "The person who hides his head and tail, what future can he give me." ”

"The king, a nobody in the Lower Han Kingdom, named Wu Qi, is specially ordered by our Hou Ye to give 100,000 stone grains and grass and the ancient feather leader to turn the war into jade silk. Before, the leader of Lin Hu sent a private message to my marquis, wanting to join forces with us to attack Donghu and Lou Fu. That's why there are many casualties among your two tribes during the day, but Lin Hu has very few casualties. After thinking about it, my marquis does not want to be your enemy, so he is willing to drag Lin Hu, and the leader will take advantage of Lin Hu's army to return to the army to swallow his tribe, bring the integrated soldiers and horses, and hope that the leader of Guyu will come to rescue us quickly. ”

Gu Yu didn't have the urge to drink after hearing this, and after a little thought, he gritted his teeth and agreed, although the risk is big, but the reward is also very large, Gu Yu has already imagined that after getting the grain, after the successful attack of the expansion soldiers and horses, he will take the victorious army to exterminate Donghu, and he is the strongest overlord on the grassland. As for rescuing you, hmph, let you fight each other then, and I'll reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Subsequently, after Wu Qi returned to the pass, he transported the grain and grass at the appointed time, and Gu Yu also asked people to stab him with a knife a few times, and when he saw the grain spilled, he nodded and signaled that he would act according to the plan. Gu Yu led his cavalry of less than 30,000 to retreat in the original direction.

Looking at the direction in which Lou Fu's cavalry disappeared, Wu Qi came to Lin Hu's camp again, saying that Lou Fu intercepted 100,000 stones of grain and grass from Han Hou's filial piety to Lin Hu, and evacuated back to attack Lin Hu's lair. The leader of Lin Hu ordered people to check on Lou Fu's camp, and it was really empty. angrily kicked over the wine table in front of him, "Gu Yu, this dog thief, dares to rob Lao Tzu's grain and grass, and wants to serve my territory, hum The appetite is really big, good, good, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, come to someone, summon the order, and follow me to destroy the trouble." More than 50,000 people gathered a cup of tea, and chased them in the direction where Lou Fu left. One hour, the Lin Hu cavalry caught up with the Lou Fu cavalry led by Gu Yu, one was angry, and the other was weak-hearted. Naturally, there is nothing to talk about on both sides. The scuffle broke out, and the cavalry on both sides brandished their scimitars and looked at each other's fatal spots, like enemies who did not share the sky. The casualties on both sides were large, but Lin Ming had a clear advantage.

After looking at Lin Huzhong's plan, Wu Qi glanced at the Lou Fu soldiers who had been captured before, and he was drenched in pig blood all over his body, "My lord, after the villain completes the task, I hope to let my family go." After getting Wu Qi's reply, the Lou Fu soldiers ran to Donghu's camp, "Chief, for the sake of our Gu Yu leader's friendship with you, please save our Lou Fu, Lin Hu raided our Lou Fu tonight, we are defeated, and we are already in danger." ”

It was a matter of life and death for Lou Fu, and it was also related to himself, and the leader of Donghu gathered his cavalry without thinking much and rushed to the battlefield where Lou Fu and Lin Hu were fighting.

At this time, the sky was bright, but I couldn't see clearly, I saw that there was not much left after a night of fierce fighting, Gu Yu saw the arrival of Donghu, and immediately accosted Donghu's support, hearing Gu Yu's voice, the leader of Donghu also took his own troops into the battle, and the leader of Linhu saw that he was about to win the victory, and was disturbed by Donghu, and he was also irritable like thunder, and sprinkled his anger on the Donghu soldiers, and the three sides started a fierce battle. It's dark and it's dark.

It lasted until the sun rose, and the two sides ended the battle. There are still more than 20,000 left. Breathless rest, a night of fierce fighting, sleepy and tired. The leaders of the three parties exchanged words and greeted each other many times, which also made them understand that they had been tricked.

Wu Qi looked at the sleepy Sanhu soldiers not far away, and ordered the soldiers to shoot rockets, and the fire ignited the grain truck, of course, most of the 100,000 stone grain and grass were used as weeds, and a small part was grain. The burned Sanhu people and horses are jumping around. However, the surroundings were already surrounded by Han soldiers, shields and spearmen formed an iron bucket-like formation, and archers shot at the Sanhu cavalry who escaped from the fire. The Sanhu cavalry, who was ruthless and sleepy, also experienced the mood of those people who were usually plundered, the despair of being slaughtered, and how helpless life and death were. And the soldiers of the Han Kingdom also hated them, and they fought hard to avenge their tragic deaths.
